Pseudoliparis belyaevi has been found in the NW Pacific Ocean in the Izu-Ogasawara and Japan Trench. [3] They were caught as deep as 7579m in the Japan Trench. [4] This possibly breaks the depth record for a fish collected from the seafloor, previously held by Pseudoliparis swirei at a depth of 7,966 m (26,135 ft). [5]
Only one other species of fish has been recorded from depths in excess of 8,000 m (26,000 ft), the so-called ethereal snailfish (living in the same region as Pseudoliparis swirei but somewhat deeper), but it has only been seen on film and remain undescribed. [6]
